Michael O’Leary, Ryanair’s CEO, announced that to counter the ongoing economic crisis, which has a negative impact on tourism (and also thanks to lower fuel prices) will be a reduction in the prices of all flights to throughout the winter season. The “discount” is not fixed, this is an average calculation, therefore hardly seen without a long comparisons end.

Good news for fans of lowcost travel, for Ryan and loyal users for connoisseurs of the capital who live near the Adriatic coast. As of Tuesday, October 28 from Federico Fellini of Rimini take off the new flights that Ryanair has turned to ensure a link between London Stansted and Romagna: in the day Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (date useful for granted a long weekend land in English) will start from at lunch (12.40) and from England at breakfast (9.05).

The cost of tickets? For example, if you want to celebrate Halloween in London, you can start on Thursday 30 October at 12.40 from Federico Fellini arriving at Stansted at 13.55 and return to Italy Tuesday, Nov. 4, landing at 12.15.

If you happen to go on the site of Ryanair certainly be able to take off a curiosity: why the plane takes one hour and 55 to rise in London (12.40 - 13.55) and three hours and 10 falling to Rimini ( 9.05 - 12.15), perhaps there is a call not reported?

In practice a dry loss of nearly 5.5 million nights sleep, despite the failure to increase the price of your stay.

What happens then? Bernabo Bocca, president of Federalberghi-Confturismo talk of recession that is affecting this sector, as demonstrated by the drop in foreign tourist component. And the question Alitalia has not helped the image of Italy.
